Recep Tayyip Erdogan Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan cancelled
his scheduled visit to Argentina due in May 30 and 31 within the
context of his South America tour.
A statement by the Foreign Ministry said the cancellation resulted
from Buenos Aires Autonomous Administration's avoiding the opening
of a previously scheduled Ataturk Monument upon the reactions from
Armenian lobby.
Upon the developments, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had talks
with his Argentinean counterpart in the Alliance of Civilizations
Forum and asked Argentinean government to stick by their pledge on
the opening of the monument.
Argentinean President called Erdogan and said they justified
Turkey's reaction but could not exceed authority of the Autonomous
administration in accordance with the Argentinean constitution.
Prime Minister Erdogan, even though, cancelled his visit to this
country noting that he did not find the attitude acceptable whatever
the reason is.
The statement further said Argentinean authorities are expected to
take required steps to compensate the situation, which was shadowed
by a wrong decision by anti-Turkey circles-led Buenos Aires Autonomous
Administration, in the shortest time.
